Mini Session … Success!

Tis’ the season for mini sessions! The theory and idea behind mini sessions are great … shorten the session which benefits the client in price and the photographer in time and work. Two birds with one stone, right? Yes, but those 2 birds are very hard to hit with one stone. Creating a comfortable, friendly environment and warming up to children doesn’t always happen right away. But on mini session time, it needs to happen right away. No worries, it can. A successful mini session is almost more rewarding than a successful full session. Both the parents and the photographer walk away feeling very accomplished.

This session definitely had me on cloud nine. These parents came to me knowing exactly what had to be done to pull off a family photo session in 20-25 minutes. Mom and Dad were beaming with wonderful, positive energy, and the boys completely reflected them. We had a blast together and the time flew by.

I look at these photos and I can still hear the giggles and sheer craziness all around.

And kudos to mom for choosing such fun clothing that perfectly fit her family’s personality.

We’re Loving This Newborn Session with an Older Baby

Though most newborn photographers subscribe to the 7-10 day ideal for posed newborn photography, some of my best and most successful newborn sessions take place when the baby is closer to 2 weeks old. A few days isn’t going to make a huge difference in the sleepiness or flexibility factors, but those extra days can […]
